Hoping to get some feedback from experienced "Squallers"
I have a new 3S Squall kit, but I have only 4S batteries. I want to convert this kit to 4S and would like to know what a solid, and relatively inexpensive set-up would be recommended? - Fan, Motor, ESC... Thanks in advance! Gabriel |

Hi Gabriel,
A couple setups come to mind: HET 6904 with a 2W20 E-Flite Delta-V 15 with a 3600 or 3700kv motor. Both can be had used for $60-75 used, depending on condition. Harder to find is the ARC 28-47-1 (sometimes called the 28-48-1), which is a high kv motor that'll spin like crazy on 4s. There are likely some budget brand options out there as well from Turnigy, Freewing, and others, but I'm not too familiar with those. Shameless plug: I happen to have some spare sets of the eflite, HET, and ARC equipment for sale here on RCG. If you're interested, let me know. Best, Josh |

Fan fell apart last year so I put it up. Burnt up the stock speed control @20A on an FMS fan. So I put in a hitec 60A and a 12 blade xps. Moved the fan forward to help with cg and managed to fit an inlet ring on to take up the space in front of the fan and the fuselage. 4s managed 650watts. Hopefully the bare airframes are still floating around.

is there any vendors that have the ef16 or even the squall in stock still?
if not, is there any kit that's like the next best thing? |

Little late to the party here, my friend finally flew his squall yesterday after it sitting on the shelf for 7 or 8 years. It’s very unstable in the roll axis and teeters back and forth like you’re trying to balance it on a point. Anyone else have this issue? The vectored thrust unit is not installed by the way.
